what kind of watch do you have? what kind do you recommend for an analyst/associate in PE and how much should i be looking to spend?






Timex Weekender and I love
Timex Weekender and I love it. You can buy a zillion watch bands from from all sorts of places (J. Press, Brooks Brothers, Eliza B.) and customize it to really make it an extension of you. Inexpensive. Classic good looks. Gets the job done. $35 for the watch on Amazon. ~$15 per band.
Just saying...
i heard these watches are
i heard these watches are very popular amongst rappers. i think they cost quite a few stacks though

depends on your current net
depends on your current net worth and human capital. if you currently have huge college loans, don't buy one. If you're in the black and saving >50k / year, maybe splurge but don't be too flashy because many will find you obnoxious. I wear a Tag Heuer that i've had since i was 21 and i love it... having said that, if i found out in August that I passed CFA level 3 i'm going to buy a new watch so here's what i'd say on higher end brands: be thoughtful about value. i LOVE mont blanc watches. they are about half the price of an entry level rolex but also aren't likely to retain their value... but then, will you ever actually sell it? I also like Chopard and Omega, and Tag has some very nice watches (mine is mid range for Tag)

Buy what you want, it should mean something to you....who cares about what everyone else thinks. For me it was an Omega to celebrate a big milestone. Though I have to complement Rolex on their awesome customer service on repairs/cleaning.

But seriously, no one gives a crap about your watch. Spend as much as you feel comfortable doing and don't worry about what's "appropriate." I didn't wear a watch for years. If I had my way, I still wouldn't be.
